### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? When executing `select date_format(values, patterns) from t`, people often expect the output column to be named with the function name `date_format`. However, the actual is `to_char`: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/9942ecd4ac791c26546db8d8bf6ae674006a49fc/datafusion-examples/examples/date_time_functions.rs#L486-L505 This might cause some confusion, if people don't know `date_format` is aliased to `to_char`, and brings poor experience. ### Describe the solution you'd like As title, instead of showing the actual executing function's name("`to_char`"), showing its alias("`date_format`"). ### Describe alternatives you've considered _No response_ ### Additional context _No response_ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
